Interestingly, the Inn Register showed a long list of folks named “Mr. & Mrs. John Smith”. Unfortunately, Mr. & Mrs. Joseph had no luggage, raising the innkeeper’s concern.
Actually, the word in Greek which has been translated “Inn,” is “Kataluma.” That word is also used when speaking of where Jesus and the disciples celebrated the Last Supper, in the “Upper Room,” the “Kataluma.” It literally means “a Guest Room,” and it could be an addition to the side of the house or a second-floor room. So, it means, there was no guest room available! Jesus was probably born in the home of a long-lost-relative, and then Jesus and his family were given the warmest part of the house, down by the animals. So, there was no nasty old Inn Keeper!

Especially when everyone’s gotta go home and get counted.
